And every smartphone has a power button I think...

              hope this is not where gsma is basing this article on
              http://www.idownloadblog.com/2012/09/16/iphone-5-benchmark-geekbench/

              nothings been confirmed as yet but anyways anyone looking at those charts and thinking that an iPhone 5 will outperform a Galaxy S3 has been mislead.

              Galaxy S3 will actually easily score in the 1800's and higher... the ip5 are CLAIMING 1601 (remember specs are still yet to be confirmed)...

              There is no way you can score so LOW as 1500 with a Galaxy S3 without turning on Power Saving.

                  AnonD-46560, 17 Sep 2012I believe that iphone 5's A6 chip will be faster and better... moreSorry kid, it doesn't outrun the almost 1 year design Tegra 3 that is in the One X and on Jellybean the Tegra 3 is faster, what a pity :o

                        HTC One S dual Krait cores is just as fast or faster, so the new quad Krait cores will destroy the iPhone 5 even before the end of this year, and even the "old" S3 with Jelly Bean will be faster than iPhone 5! I am not impressed by the performance of iPhone 5!

                          Samsung Galaxy S III uses Exynos 4412 not Nvidia Tegra 3!

                          By the way the Exynos 4412 is a customised Cortex-A9 by Samsung.

                            It dosent matter wheather apple uses 1ghz dual core.... Whereas others use 1.5ghz quadcore.... And still both are almost same in benchmark. What matters is iphone costs almost double than sgs3 or onex... But still benchmark wise they are almost same.

                                  Well if fandroids finally understand it's not about numbers or cores...

                                  I'm not surprised by this result, iOS devices are So well optimized and apple really takes everything out from hardware and dont just put useless numbers into device.

                                      whatever...jelly bean has made every android super smooth...there's no going back now, so android and lag are no longer in the same phrase by any standard.

                                      once this step was accomplished ...huray...no other os can keep up with android. it's the fastest evolving os, and no has like no major weak points.

                                        this is the second example of how ARM "stock" cores are crap for both crapdroid and craple. Custom cores like Krait and A6 show the world that making a CPU is serious business ... kinda reminds me of the ages when Intel was NetBursting it's ass off to catch up with AMD.
                                        The future is going to be awesome, can't wait to have 3-5 companies developing custom ARM cores and competing on the same amrket, unlike the A6 going only to iCrap5 or the Krait going only to "second best" IceCrapSanwich. (btw, I live in Europe and Krait doesn't go into SGS3 and OneX around here ... hell.. not even krait get's in all OneS around here)
